Students and lecturers on the 麻豆传媒社区入口 campus are protesting recently announced budget reductions, which include layoffs and cuts in classes.
Protesters hope their list of demands will reach the university president.
The budget reductions at 麻豆传媒社区入口 are expected to save the university at least $4 million.
Undergrad Sherri Canedo said feels a sense of frustration on campus.
“It took me five years to get my Bachelor’s degree, because they don’t offer the classes, the classes that are being offered get cancelled or dropped or cut,” she said. “Not only do we have to go through so much red tape just to get anything done on this campus, the education is being devalued.”
Political Science lecturer Craig Collins said he works to pay for his daughter’s education at U.C. Berkeley. “If I lose my job, my wife is retired, then we’re not going to have the money to put her through school. The educational crisis is affecting me both there and here.”
The announced reductions are scheduled to go into effect by June 30, 2010.
